Hi Amitav

netstat will help you

netstat -an | grep LISTEN
netstat -an | grep ESTABLIS

man netstat for details

There is another utility like netstat but also list open files called as lsof. You can get it from following url

hi Amitav,

you can use also lsof to know which port is used by which process

for example

lsof -i tcp:22

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sshd 1278 root 5u inet 0xe000000165d66740 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN)
sshd 21752 root 5u inet 0xe0000001712ff3c0 0t79559 TCP xxx.xx.corp.priv:22->xxxxxxx.xxx.corp.priv:1549 (ESTABLISHED)

A good url which can be usefull :

Your followup question makes it sound like you are asking about network interface ports (eg rj45 connections on NICs) rather than TCP/UDP port numbers. Is that the case?
